VALVE.

' To all wlioi rtit ma/y concerni Y Be it known that I, EGBERT H. (3011), a

citizen of the United States, residing at Chi- M I cage, in thecounty of Cook and State'of Illie, "noisj, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Valves, of which the fol.-

lowing is a, specification. I A, -Th1s mventlon relates to improvements in valves and is particularly adapted for use as 10. other fluid. distributing system wherein it is a supply-valve for Lear-heating system, or

.. desirable that no condensed fluid be per- Qlinitted to remain in the pipes or other distributing or radiating means after the valve .15

has been closed.

I .The object of my invention is to provide a device of the above-described class, which ,I Shall .positivelyshut off the su ply of steam or other-fluid, and which shal at the same time, and by .the same manual operation,

open a drip passage.

. ,A further object of .my invention is the v 7 production of a deiicewhich, while 'meeting the above requlrcments; is neither expensive .25

to manufacturenor likel to get out of order.

, These and such other j ects as may hereinafterappearare. attained, .by my invention, a

- v convenient embodiment of which is shown in,

l the drawings, in which:. .30

Fig.2 'is a sectional view of the same, taken on thelineQ-Z of Fig? 1, looking in the direction indicated by Fig. 3 is an elevational. end view of'thesame, looking into the outletort. Fig. '4 shows a vertical section on'the 'ine.44 .ofFig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows. Fig. 5 shows a similar section with the arts in the reversed position. Fig. 6 is an e evational face view of the valve-piece, the latter being removed. from the valve. Fig. -7- is an elevational rear view of the same part. Fig. 8 is a side or edge view of the same part, showing the same in elevation; valve-stem.

The valv'ca'sing o is provided with a valve 3 chamber 1, an inlet-port 2 ada ted to. con1- municate with the feed pipe o the system, an outlet-port 3 leading from the valve cham-' ber to the distributing pipe of the system ,and

a dri port 1, which aside from the valve" chain r 1 to the atmosphere througha waste-pipe.-

One end of the valve chamber 1 constitutes I 'a valve-seat, upon which is niounteda valvey means of a projection 6. Arranged to have axial "valve-stem 7 wl'iich'eictends" through a stuffing-box 8, andis provided upon itsouter end The valve-piece 5 and the rhesus adapted to interlock, whereby rotation of the valve stem isimparted to the valve- .piece. Such interlocking means may conveniently comprise a laterally extending wing W'upon each side of the valve-stem 7 and rejections 5 and-5 upon the valve-piece 5. lhe substantially'T shaped end of the valveiece 5, which s centered upon the valve-seat rotation in'the valve casing is a a stein thus formed is adapted to enter'achannel 5" between the projections 5' and o upon the valve-piece '5. r The end of the valve-stern is provided with a cone-shaped pro'ection or 'po1nt '7 adapted toengage thefva veiece, the pointer projection? being prefera Iy of suflicient height to prevent the wings 7 a from contacting squarelywith'the bottom of the channel 5. "Suitable 'means is'ernployed for thrusting the valve stem toward the valvepiece, and such means consisting of a spring 10 this spring being seated against a suitable flange lljfin the stufling-lbox 8 and thrusting againsta collar 'Z'Q' oinqthe. valve-stem.

- V Itwillbe understood-{from the above descriptiomfthat the thrust of the valvestem u on approximately t 'eing atthe center thefac of the valve gamst'which the valveof said springjs exerted asingle )ointgth t p of the va ve-pie'ce piece andtheseat 7 ,piece [is held. are; la thesejp'arts must a w tact with each othe 's. be squarely in con- ,and since the valvepiece and valve stem are not integral the.

opening 3 effecting communication bes, it is evident that the valve-chamber to the drip-port 4.

tween the-valve-chamber 1 and the outletport 3, the other opening 4" leading fr 'lollln e valve-piece 5 is provided with a passage-wa 3 and the other wit 15 extending directly therethrough,' and wit a diving passage-way 16 which opens at both ends upon the valve-seat. The passage-way 15 is adapted' to establish communication between the inlet-port2 and the outlet-port 3, through the valve-chamber 1 when the passage-way 16 is closed, while the passage-way 16 is ada ted to establish communication between t e outlet-port 3 and the drip-port 4 when the passage-way 15 is'closed. In Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4,- the parts are shown in the position which they assume when the valve is open, the as'sage-way 15 registering with'the outlet 3 eading to the port 3', communication being thus established between the inlet-port 2 and the 1 outlet-port 3, through the chamber 1. a i

Fig; 5 shows the valve closed, the passage-way 15 being obstructed bythe solid face of the valve-seat. The.dripport 4 and the outlet-port 3 are in communication with each other through the passage way 16, one end of which re sters with the opening the opening 4. Con-.

' venient means for limiting the movement of the valve-piece 5 are shown, consistin of a stud-screw 17 which is inserted throug the wall of the casing, and rojects into a suitable channel 18 in the va ve-piece.

From the fore oing description the operation of my v ve is obvious. Withthe parts arranged in relation to each other as shown, a given adjustment will establish communication between the supply-pipe and the distributing pipe through the valve chamber 1 and passa e-wa. 15.
